Happy Friday you beautiful babes!!!!!!! 🍷💕🍷💕🍷💕 1. We got back from NYC on Sunday and Chris and I are adjusting to our lives with kids again... which means we’re trying to figure out why we did this??? Ah yes.... to keep the population alive and thriving... you’re welcome Earth! You are welcome!!! 💪 🌎 💪 🌎 2. I’m still getting over my sinus infection that I got shortly after my bacterial infection last week. TMI.... but when you blow your nose so much that it starts to bleed... I think a break is in order. Like I’m still not craving wine... it’s that bad. 🤧🤧🤧 3. Knox got sick with a fever on Wednesday... and yesterday was diagnosed with a pretty bad ear infection. Which has resulted in him never leaving mine or Chris’ arms... but mostly mine. 😷😷😷 4. Brooks has been an angel this week... almost like he’s practicing for sainthood. One night he even got out of the tub to go potty... and maybe comparing sainthood to not pooping in the tub is a low standard... but as far as I’m concerned he’s St. Brooks! 🚽 💪🚽💪🚽 5. I want to full circle back to Chris and I’s trip and how important it was that we had time for just the two of us. We get so caught up in the day to day, and adding kids to the mix can get you even more lost. We found our young selves again this weekend, and I’m grateful I have a best friend for life.... who accepts my craziness and try’s every day to be a better than the day before for our marriage and our family. I love him and that’s how I wanted to end my Friday recap 💙💙💙 . . . . . #mommybloggers #mommylife #parentingblogger #pregnancyblog #momitforward, #childhoodunplugged #motherhoodunplugged #letthembelittle #mommyproblems #momswithcameras #nothingisordinary #motherhoodrising #uniteinmotherhood #candidchildhood #dailyparenting #mytinymoments #literalmomgoals #joyfulmamas #legitmomstyle #motherhoodinspired #motherhoodco #motherhoodinstyle #momtographer #momliferocks #inspirationintheeveryday #dailymotherhood #sickbabe #friday
The literal calm before the storm... this was Fort Lauderdale as of yesterday AM. This boys and I are back on the other side of the state, away from Dorian’s path... watching the doomsday channel... aka weather channel... as the storm unfolds. Positive thoughts to all of those in the Bahamas.... they’ve been taking a beating. . . . . #florida #hurricanedorian #hurricaneprep #fl #weather #weatherchannel #fortlauderdale #bahamas #photooftheday #picoftheday #photodaily #justgoshoot #vsco #vscocam #bestofvsco #igers #igmasters #friendsinmyfeed #postthepeople #keepitwild #welivetoexplore #thousandwords #photographysouls #pursuitofportraits, #makeportraits

It has rained for what seems like an eternity here in Florida! And not the “Oh, it’s sprinkled for five minutes then the suns back out so let’s go to the pool the rest of the day” kind of rain… more like “Florida is severely depressed and needs a Prozac script stat” type of rain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ SOOOOO…. that leaves me with two babes and watching the Grinch on repeat for as long as I can stand it (which is approximately 114 times). A new indoor activity was in order this weekend, and I used to do this with Brooks ALL the time when he was a babe…. so Indoor Tub Painting made a re-appearance! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On the blog... these two babes and all their big belly glory!!!

I attempted to take some pics of my babes yesterday... it went exactly according to plan... which was not well 🤣 . . . . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #photooftheday #picoftheday #photodaily #justgoshoot #vsco #vscocam #bestofvsco #igers #igmasters #friendsinmyfeed #postthepeople #keepitwild #welivetoexplore #thousandwords #photographysouls #pursuitofportraits, #makeportraits #candidmotherhood #momsirl #thisismotherhood #unitedmotherhood #slowmotherhood #bloggermom #momgoals #modernmom #momcrushmonday #holdthemoments #honestparenting #nestingly #teammotherly
Happy Friday... I missed last Friday’s post cause... I’m really fucking busy!!! But I’m here today and so excited share this weeks highs... and maybe one or two lows... cause life 💙 1. Chris and I didn’t get into one fight this week... not one little tiff... not even a rolling of the eyes... and I feel good about it. I’m trying really hard not to be a c*nt and it’s paying off 🤣 I feel the need to post this mainly because we talk so much about how hard it is being a mom, but we never talk about how hard marriage can be... cause at times it can actually be harder... and that’s ok. He’s been my bff for a long time, and hopefully longer even after this post 🤣 haha! Love you @durig99 💕 2. Both boys are finally over their colds... but the mucus aftermath is still alive and well! Our cleaners came yesterday... so I feel like we got the first layer of “Joody” out of the house, but another good wipe down to calm my OCD nerves might be in order. 😷 3. I organized like a MF this week. One night I stayed up until 12:30 just cleaning out files from my desk... our paper shredder is on it last leg as a result. I got rid of so much stuff, and I feel like a weight he’s been lifted off my shoulders... hope to god I don’t get audited anytime soon by the IRS... cause that receipt form 2012 be gone #byefelicia 🧼 4. I cooked every meal at home this week, and I’m proud I didn’t give up on Wednesday and rely on Uber eats to feed my boys. 💪 5. Lastly, Brooks started official school this week. New classroom, new friends and new routine. It’s weird, I’ve realized up until now my responsibilities have basically been just keeping him alive... and now I’ve got to step up & teach him about things... which includes the alphabet and all the numbers. Just a lot that I’m trying to process on top of raising the other babe I have... oh... and keep bringing in the cash flow too! Have a great weekend! Also, that wine glass you see in this pic will be glued there until further notice 🍷
